Narrative

An employee was replacing the bolts that held the tongue to the main frame. The trailer was on the jack stands. Using the torch, he cut out the bolts on the left side then cut out the bolts on the right side. Some slag was still holding the tongue frame to the main frame. The employee used a bar to pry them apart when the front of the trailer fell off the jack stands and onto his foot breaking all five toes.
